After Shao Xiaoqian left, Li Zheng spent his life as usual.
Every day they are on duty, patrolling, and regularly performing security tasks assigned by the Eastern Theater Command.
The days of peacekeeping are spent in high tension every day. Although the situation here is generally stable, attacks and exchanges of fire occur from time to time.
In these days, Li Zheng gradually matured in the blood and fire, but he didn't know it.
He has seen the fragility of life.
During a support mission, a group of peacekeepers who had just returned from a defense change from an African Union country encountered a roadside IED when they entered the J city camp.
The training level of African Union soldiers is indeed poor, not in terms of personal physical fitness or combat effectiveness, but in terms of their big hearts.
How big is your heart?
When they came over, they came in a pickup truck.
That's right.
It's the kind of pickup truck with no armor protection.
A bunch of people were sitting in the truck, holding on to the railings of the truck and shaking. The dust was blowing in their faces.
However, this is tantamount to finding the best target for attack by some extreme armed branches in the north of country L.
As they passed a section of the road, less than four kilometers away from the city, a homemade IED on the roadside exploded.
After Li Zheng arrived at the scene, the militants had disappeared as usual.
This is their usual method.
But in most cases, someone will take responsibility, explain that they are responsible for the incident, and then make some unreasonable demands, as if they have hung an extra medal on their chest for doing this attack.
.
Judging from the crater left at the scene, it seems that it was just a simple IED modified from a mortar bomb. It was connected to a small piece of TNT to make a simple circuit, connected to a non-intelligent old man's mobile phone, and detonated by making a phone call.
Don’t underestimate the second-hand mobile phones that can be bought everywhere in Africa. In addition to having few functions, the old-fashioned mobile phones are actually not weak at all in terms of stability. As long as there is a 2G signal, the detonation circuit can be connected properly and it is as stable as an old dog.
Moreover, the location of the explosion was not professionally set up. It was probably planted in a hurry after receiving the information temporarily, so it was relatively far away from the vehicle, about seven or eight meters away.
It is said that the lethality of this kind of explosion is not enough to cause too many deaths. At most, a few lucky shrapnels hit the vital parts of the unlucky soldiers or the vital blood vessels that will cause death.
When Li Zheng arrived at the scene, he found that the situation was much more serious than he thought.
There are thirteen vehicles in the fleet.
At least four vehicles are now overturned on the roadside, and the vehicles are severely damaged. Peacekeepers from a certain country who came to replace the vehicles are scattered in the grass and ditches on the roadside, covering an area of 100 meters in front and back.
"One group went to the front of the kilometer to set up a warning area. The second group blocked the back and cut off the traffic flow. The third group followed me. The task is to see if there are any unexploded bombs. We need to be quick. After checking, let the medical team come in to save people!"
Tong Zhi's command is clean and neat.
Each of the three groups performs their own duties.
I have been here for half a year and everything is familiar.
Li Zheng followed Tong Zhi into the explosion zone.
As soon as I entered, I smelled a strong smell of diesel and a smell of blood floating in the air.
After finding the explosive point, start a quick search along its location.
IEDs are actually very easy to find, because they are often buried in specific areas, such as in the middle of the road or on the side of the road, otherwise they will not be able to blow up anyone.
This time the IED was buried on the roadside, perhaps because the militants thought this would better cover up their traces.
Li Zheng did not find other unexploded bombs, but he found a lot of fragments of the exploded IED. Judging from the shape and material of the fragments, they were not large-caliber artillery shells, but a mortar shell of approximately 80 caliber.
This is one of the commonly used materials for IEDs, but because it caused such a wide range of damage, Tong Zhi believed that militants must have made a fuss about this projectile.
In order to increase the power, manufacturers often include a layer of iron sheets on the projectile body.
Things like nails are actually made of earthen fragments to achieve greater damage effects.
I just searched and found nothing except fragments of mortar shells.
This means that just one 80-caliber mortar shell damaged four vehicles in this convoy.
After confirming that there was no problem, Tong Zhi immediately informed the medical team, which immediately came in to rescue the wounded, and then organized three groups of commandos to help the medical staff find the injured.
This is something that is very resisting but has to be done.
Resistance is because going to the wounded often leads to scenes that you will never forget.
Li Zheng saw a peacekeeping soldier from a certain country lying beside the grass. When he went up to take a look, he found that he was dead.
I found another one, and when I looked at it, it was gone.
The more he searched, the colder his heart became.
I finally found someone alive and wailing there, obviously he was saved.
Li Zheng called a doctor, but there were too many injured people and the medical staff could not take care of him. So he quickly took out the first aid kit and tried to bandage the patient briefly, but in the end he was stunned when he took the first aid kit.
Because he saw the other person’s thighs…
What kind of thigh is that?
The calf was broken. It was not an ordinary fracture. It was broken directly in the middle. A section of bone came out and was exposed. It looked horrifyingly white and blood was gushing out.
Li Zheng had learned how to do simple bandaging, but a rookie like him was a little confused when it came to dealing with such a serious bone injury and didn't know how to start.
This is not a gunshot wound or a splinter injury, it is a typical severe fracture.
"doctor!"
His voice was distorted as he shouted.
"I need a doctor here! The injury is serious!"
Finally a doctor came over, looked at the wound, splinted it on the ground, fixed it, and then began to bandage it. Li Zheng watched numbly. The soldier screamed even more miserably while bandaging it, which made people's hearts beat.
tremble.
The doctor suddenly yelled at Li Zheng: "Can't you comfort him?! Haven't you learned anything?!"
appease……
correct!
Li Zheng suddenly woke up.
He leaned down and grabbed the other person's hands - there are two meanings here. One is to grab the wounded person's hands, which can make the other person feel psychological comfort and know that he is not abandoned and that someone is helping him, which is good for his mood.
Stablize.
The second one is more realistic. It is because it will be very painful during simple treatment. Not every injury requires analgesics, which is not a good thing. Therefore, the other party's hand will move randomly during bandage, which will affect the doctor.
The treatment may even lead to some actions that are not conducive to the injury.
"Dude! Look at me! Look at me!"
He put his face in front of the other person's face, and the distance was less than thirty centimeters.
"look at me!"
He kept shouting, trying to get the other person to look at him.
In fact, this is also a rescue technique.
When the injured are seriously injured, they will become distracted and even lose their minds. To focus their energy, you can guide them to make them believe that they can survive, which increases people's hope. Desperate people are more likely to die. This is all from history.
The bloody experience summed up in this war.
The other party can understand French.
I also understand.
Under Li Zheng's shouts, the soldier was finally willing to focus on Li Zheng's face.
Li Zheng looked at his penis. Fortunately, it was not enlarged, and it was still there, which proved that although the injury was serious, it could be saved.
"Hey! We are by your side, and the doctor is too. Your injury is just a fracture, not serious, and you will not die. You will be sent to the hospital within twenty minutes, and there will be better doctors waiting for you there.
You will get better and go home, understand?! Don't sleep, don't panic, look at me, look at me!"
Finally, the soldier was carried on a stretcher.
Due to shortage of manpower, the doctor asked Li Zheng for help.
When I was carried to the medical vehicle, I was told that it was full and could not be loaded.
Tong Zhi immediately made another decision - to use his own wheeled armored vehicle to transport the stretcher. The armored vehicle was originally designed to hold the stretcher in place so that the soldier would not howl like a pig due to the bumps.
There were three wounded people inside an infantry fighting vehicle. Because others stayed here to guard, there was plenty of space.
Tong Zhi asked Hou Jun and Li Zheng to be responsible for the escort. No one knew whether the armed men would ambush the rescue team midway after this incident happened.
All possibilities must be considered. This is a quality that an excellent special forces officer must possess.
After closing the heavy car door, Li Zheng soon smelled the strong smell of blood, a very strong smell of blood.
Hou Jun on the side was wiping the blood on his hands. There was too much blood and he couldn't wipe it clean no matter how hard he wiped it.
"Oh shit!"
He suddenly spoke.
"A group of pickup trucks, without body armor, carrying people in the truck bed, hum! A mortar bomb exploded, injuring several people, damaging one car, and the other cars all hit themselves and fell on the roadside.
Many people fall to death..."
Li Zheng swallowed his saliva. It was very sticky and he couldn't swallow it for a long time.
Hou Jun didn't look at Li Zheng, but stared at his hand, still wiping the blood carefully.
"I don't know whether it's because they don't care about their own lives, or whether their superiors don't care about their lives."
Li Zheng continued to remain silent.
This is not the first time we have been on the scene for support.
It's just that too many people died this time.
In the past, there were only one or two at most, but this time it looks like there will be a lot more.
Li Zheng seemed a little numb.
For half a year here, there have been exchanges of fire almost every three days. Either the militants attacked government personnel or the National Defense Forces, or the French army beat the militants one day, and the militants used bombs to attack a military facility in retaliation the next day.
This kind of war seems to have no end.
So, if you are here to maintain peace, what kind of peace are you maintaining?
He began to doubt the meaning of peacekeeping.
Why has the war here not stopped even though the United Nations has connected?
Are peacekeeping measures really effective?
Over the years, China has sacrificed many soldiers for peacekeeping missions.
This is the country of the people of Country L. They don’t cherish it themselves. How can they survive by relying on outsiders like themselves to help them maintain peace?
Even if it can be maintained, if it is maintained today, what about tomorrow?
Or what about after the peacekeeping troops withdraw?
Who will ensure the safety of the people here?
Li Zheng felt that peace was valuable, but he also felt lost. Before joining peacekeeping, he felt that it was a very glorious thing.
Maintaining world peace, what a great, noble responsibility and mission?
But the longer he stayed here, Li Zheng began to doubt his mission.
After the wounded were sent to the hospital, an attack happened in another place. Although there were not that many wounded, there were only three, and they were also soldiers from the Eastern Theater Command of the peacekeeping force.
A peacekeeping soldier from an unknown country was covered with a white sheet and exited. He was placed on a medical bed and pushed to the morgue.
Soon after, his body will be draped in the United Nations flag and returned to his country of origin, where he will receive a decent burial.
However, his family can no longer wait for his return.
The matter of mission and will has troubled Li Zhengzheng for several days, and his mood was very low during those days.
People are like this, and they are prone to twisting things, commonly known as heart knots.
This is the same as what Teacher Luo said to him when he was studying in the past.
In fact, before becoming a lawyer, when taking law electives, most students still have certain romantic expectations and idealism about the word lawyer. They feel that they are just like the legal experts in TV series, with law on their left hand and justice on their right hand, shouting for the weak.
, to clear up the injustice in the world.
But when I graduate, I really engage in legal work, become a lawyer, or join the system and become such a
Officials in the field will find that many things in reality are not as simple as they imagined.
Ideals are ideals, reality is reality.
Sometimes, ideals have to bow to reality.
Before the last glimmer of light of your ideal hours in the sewer of reality, you must cultivate a pair of golden eyes, a heart of steel, and learn how to pursue your own balance in reality. Otherwise, you will not be able to do this in this industry.
Let's get on with it.
Li Zheng studied law, so he knew it very well, but he lost himself in country L again. He didn't come out for several days. His mind was filled with the scene of the mission at that time, the blood, the howling soldiers, and
The soldier whose name he didn't even know was pushed in front of him, covered with a white cloth.
In the end, Li Zheng's heart knot was actually solved by Bulma's grandfather, the old man named Haji.
Sometimes, the more complex truths often only need the simplest explanation.
Since ideals cannot open the heart, reality must speak for itself.
As the saying goes, the more top-notch food often only requires the simplest cooking methods.
